Boko Haram members are Muslims, their activities not Islamic – Senator Barkiya
Barkiya who represents Katsina Central Senatorial District made this disclosure while speaking with journalists in Abuja at the weekend.
“We cannot call the Boko Haram kufar . They didn’t deny Islam but their activities are contrary to the teachings of Islam. That’s why I said there is nowhere in the Qur’an where Allah said innocent people should be killed. They are ignorants who were brought up indoctrinated and following a wrong ideology.
Barkiya noted that apart from the military action already being waged by the Nigerian Army at the war front, fervent prayers and fasting can also bring an end to the decades of Boko Haram’s terror in Nigeria. “Islam insists that a leader should give everybody his rights, whether Muslims or non-Muslims because Allah will ask you about it on the day of judgement. Everybody under you has his rights. This is what people don’t know.
